The great thing about Southby is that in one post we can tell you go to see (insert big name headliner) at (insert 6th st bar that’s been ‘rebranded’ for the week) while also proclaiming our undying affection for DIY, massive, multi-day parties curated by some of our favorite ATX local bands. Tired of hearing about events sponsored by a million companies? We get that. The perfect SX is a blend of seeing your favorite acts play ‘exclusive’ events with free-flowing booze & finding undiscovered talent at venues you might not visit the other 51 weeks of the year.

This is why we love the annual, unofficial Southby ‘how many bands can we get on one bill?’ party ESCAPES (apparently ‘rebranded’ for SX’12 as ‘NiИXSxSWƧxƧXNiИ‘, but since we can’t pronounce that title, we’re going with ESCAPES) happening for 6 days straight at Club1808 (1808 East 12th).


This party doesn’t have a flyer because there are million bands, but we need a photo —  so we’re using this image of a dude partyin’ with his cat from SX ’11. FYI – we don’t support partyin’ with your cat on 6th street.

(I bet you’d all be impressed if every band was linked, but it might result in going cross-eyed. Bloggin’ is dangerous. Google these bands if you’re interested, and go to at least one of these shows — we’re especially into the Saturday – 3/11 – line-up)
